Two team that are still in the hunt for the their respective divisions square off in Week 16. The Minnesota Vikings head to the great Northwest to take of the Seahawks. The Vikings are trying to keep pace with the Lions meanwhile the Seahawks path to the playoffs could only be through winning the division. Below are my Vikings at Seahawks Preview and Predictions.
The Vikings will be without two defensive players in this game in Fabian Moreau and Jalen Remond. Additionally, the Vikings have questionable tags on safety Harrison Smith and running C.J. Ham. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks will get Kenneth Walker III back in this game who missed the past few weeks with a calf injury.
Additionally, the Seahawks will be without linebacker Trevis Gipson who is dealing with an ankle injury. A big game for both teams for division implications!
Vikings at Seahawks Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
The Minnesota Vikings come into this road game with a 5-1 SU record on the road. They are 3-2-1 in that span and have a relatively easier schedule in that span. Meanwhile, what use to be one of the best home field advantages seems to have disappeared. The Seahawks at home this season are 3-5 SU and just 2-6 ATS.
Brian Flores has been able to put together specific tough defensive game plans for the offenses he has seen this season. I am not quite sure how good this Seattle team is as they have been able to take care of a weak NFC West division. The Vikings are stll in the hunt for the NFC North division and I believe the offense can tak advantge of this secondary.
Best Bet: Vikings -3
Player Prop Best Bet
Geno Smith Over 226.5 Passing Yards
As great as the Vikings rush defense has been this season, the pass defense has been weak. In fact, 10 of the 14 quarterbacks the Vikings have faced have gone over this projection. Despite the Seahawks possibly getting Kenneth Walker III this week, I do believe the Vikings rush defense will raise to the occassion. The sucess of the Seahawks offense will have to be on Smith. Lastly, Geno Smith in home games this season is averaging 254.3 passing yards per game.
